AI CONVICTION THESIS

CTS clears stage one via its active buyback with all legs above the floor, then fails stage two: insiders sold 0.45% of shares outstanding in 90 days. Under the calibrated rule net insider selling is adverse evidence rather than an information gap, and it blocks APPROVE even when the quant gate passes.
